Awarded the prestigious Best in Class NZ IPA, NZ Pale Ale & NZ Draught Trophy, this NZ IPA is a celebration of what happens when exceptional hops meet thoughtful brewing. Golden. Punchy. Undeniably New Zealand. Brewed for the Smith's NZ IPA Challenge using three standout New Zealand hops from NZ Hops Ltd. Nectaron leads the charge, white peach, ripe mango and passionfruit straight up. Motueka softens things through the middle with a light citrus lift, then Riwaka cuts in clean with a crisp grapefruit finish that hangs around just long enough to pull you back for another sip. Built on a dry Gladfield Pilsner malt base that stays out of the way and lets the hops do their thing. Bitterness is low, drinkability is high. A clean run of three great New Zealand hops, doing what they do best.
